Oh no this isn’t it, this is extremely basic. As a programmer you will encounter way way more complex logic problems, so logic problems become 2nd nature. And it can be frustrating when “normies” don’t understand what appear to a programmer to be a matter of pretty simple logic thinking.
As a “normie” I’d never assume to understand even the most basic of programming. My head hurts to even try and come up with a joke involving the subject.
Because it’s the same? Or because it’s very different?
My wife was a professional musician for a few years.
PS:
Do you get this joke?
The wife sends the man for shopping and asks him to buy 1 liter milk and if they have eggs buy 12.
When he comes home, she looks at him astonished, why did you buy 12 liters of milk?
Because they had eggs he responds.
Ahh. Makes sense that it can be automated. Same as with audio engineering. Though I like to normalize by hand sometimes as automated normalization tends to make a track sound lifeless and dead.
Filenames are text, not numbers, so 11 comes before 2. So does 111, 101, etc. Anything starting with 1 is before 2.
In order to sort “properly”, you have to name your files properly.
00
01
02
up to…
99
If you have more than 100 files in the same folder, the you have to go back through and re-name them:
000
001
002
… 099
100
I’m starting to understand why programmers are always so angry…

It’s so nice we have people like you, that allows us to feel superior, even if we are inferior in every other way imaginable. 👍

I do get that joke, but that’s probably because I’m of the ASD persuasion.
It’s also why stuff like this exists:
